Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Leofwine_draca ELECTRIC APRICOT is a cheap rip-off of THIS IS SPINAL TAP, a no-budget indie put out by Troma because nobody else would bother releasing it. It's another mockumentary following a bunch of long-haired rockers going around and forming a 'jam' band and trying to hit the big time. Expect a bit of music, exaggerated performances, and a lot of unfunny humour.

Jackpollins This is one of the few rockumentaries that lived up to the greatness of This Is Spinal Tap. The movie is definitely as funny as This Is Spinal Tap, mixing comedy with a great documentary feel. Very funny people such as Seth Green, Matt Stone, and Dian Bachar (who appeared in both Baseketball and Orgazmo) keep showing up, and making hysterical appearances. This movie is laid back, which is nice. I always love a movie that's not too in you face. It cleverly tells the story of the fictional band, Electric Apricot. It goes between the band talking about their history, and then concert scenes, as well as scenes with them doing their own thing as if they don't know that they are being recorded. The real genius here comes from how weird the band is. This is not your average, run-of-the-mill band. This is a band that is mentally aware of how weird they really are, and don't care how they look to people. Then there is the fact that the music is actually pretty fantastic, it is funny, but it is also good enough to be played on the radio. I highly recommend that anyone with a sense of humor go see this fantastic film.

ElijahCSkuggs Like probably everyone else who ends up seeing this flick, I'm also a pretty big fan of Les. But mostly for his Primus work and his unique personality. I never knew he had a knack for making movies, and low and behold he dishes out Electric Apricot.Electric Apricot is mockumentary on a jam band whose goal is to make an album and to just get big. To get big their manager wants them to play the Jam festival, Festeroo. I still don't know if it's a fictitious festival or not. Anywho, this is basically the story.Electric Apricot is a good movie, but for this guy, it didn't really do much. I tend to notice the bad before the good, which is good and bad, but there was a surprisingly tedious, especially during the beginning. I was also disappointed with almost all the beginning cameos. The ones with Seth Green, Matt Stone and that dude from Flight of the Conchords. They all oozed, "We're acting." and I just didn't find it funny. The laugh at my funny-cube-dance bit.....gimme a break. And for the first half of the film I wasn't digging the band members either. Surprisingly, the best actor out of everyone involved was, of course, the most talented person in the film, Les. His acting was neurotic and funny. I won't completely say I disliked the acting by the band, because by the end I was into all the characters and I was enjoying the movie for what it was, a movie about a band with no limits, no fear and no clue. Which is exactly how this movie played out.Oh, and a shout out to Choda Boy (Orgazmo anyone?). He was by far the most entertaining actor in the film. His scene when he gets in his car, was also the funniest part of the film.Like I said above, I kinda thought the movie was boring at points. But it does hit a stride, and it wound up be pretty entertaining. And I didn't laugh but only about a handful of times, which kinda stinks. Electric Apricot should have a little cult-following behind it, and fanboys of Les, Jam fans and fans of Spinal Tap should probably get a nice kick out of it. Definitely a nice effort and overall achievement by first time director Les Claypool.

sana-20 This movie is amazing. Simply put it is the greatest thing I've watched in last 21 years. Given, I am only 21 years old. That's just how amazing it is. I find it hard to believe that wasn't released in theaters. I'd imagine it would have made so much money. Everything about the film is fantastic. The only thing I could think of that would have made it better would have been more cameos by musicians/interviews with scene kids outside the Warfield, etc. This is really a great thing Les has done here. I pray he continues his efforts. He's a really, really funny guy.I find it sad that you're reading this instead of watching the movie.It's F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C.
